Bridge work prompts full overnight closures next week on Highway 160 north of Antioch

Contra Costa drivers making their way up toward Sacramento or Rio Vista overnight, or vice versa, next week will have to find another route than Highway 160.

The freeway will be closed from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. Monday through Friday between Wilbur Avenue in Antioch and the junction with Highway 12, according to a Caltrans news release.

The closure is required for bridge deck and control house rehabilitation work at Three Mile Slough Bridge, Caltrans said.

Roadside message boards will alert motorists of the closures and signed detours will be in place, but some commuters may need to drive as much as an additional 80 miles to reach their destination, officials said.
